Will buy one when they go on sale. Really great that developing on Linux with a Steam Controller is pretty much the same environment you'll get on the Steam Machines themselves. The fact that Steam Machines turn into a little computer is excellent too. It makes giving it as a gift to a young adult that much more valuable. Pre-install some development & art tools and your giving them learning resources along with their video-games. Really wounder how well something like Blender would actually work using just a Steam Controller... Good job, Valve.

I'm absolutely positive you'll be able to use a keyboard and mouse too. I don't have evidence to prove that, but really....

I expected this actually. Although, we WILL be seeing a steam controller driver eventually showing up to support the touch screen going in the production models. Its actually a shame the beta versions didn't include that, but I suppose it wasn't ready yet.
